I think fall is my favorite season. Winter is my favorite for model watching, but I really love the cool downs and the colors and the football.
Vigorous cold fronts are the best

Pattern - Winter 2019/2020 Model Archive

Hopefully, this is an appropriate thread, I saw the MA forum doing this and thought it was a good idea. Mods/Admins feel free to delete this The purpose of this thread would be to organize all the wintery models in this thread so we can get excited about all the model "firsts" Essentially...

That was the last ATL major ZR and it extended to Augusta taking out the Eisenhower Tree at Augusta National. Tony (@dsaur )got a big hit as I recall. I (in Dunwoody) got my biggest sleet since January of 1988. It was a major storm with a combo of ZR, IP, and SN.

But, this wasn’t the last major winter storm I experienced. That honor goes to the historic SE coastal winter storm of January, 2018, which was also a combo of the 3 with 0.50” of ZR (heaviest since 1922) followed by a period of moderate sleet, and then ending as heavily falling snow. Total sleet and snow was near 2” and it stuck around for an amazing 4 days with hardly any melting in shaded areas due to the coldest week in decades!

*Edited for correction about date of last big sleet (January of 1988).

View attachment 49426Hendersonville NC 12/10/18. 14-16” on the ground. We were so disappointed with our 2 inches of sleet that we went up to NC and it was a treat.
Sorry, been reminiscing lately lol

Hendersonville seems to get some of the best snowfall totals with gulf storms. We got around 12 inches with this one.

For realism sake I'd rather have a high qpf storm with like 6 inches of snow, an inch or two of sleet and like .25 of ZR. I know something like that isn't gonna happen this year because of La Nina but it would be a nice hypothetical storm that wouldn't be too far out of the question lol

October is usually the month I start digging holes on property and placing ice cubs. Typically get frost/freeze and first black ice event coming soon. Gotta jump on it before the first wind snow in November at 2am.
 
Here's to hoping Lebron James falls on his ass and has to miss the NBA finals, and therefore the Lakers lose the finals.
